A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
'To satisfy our little boy,' writes a mother, 'could you repeat the introductory music of the fife and drum band? Every day he asks without fail, 'Why don't they play the fife and drum music again?'
It is always with pleasure that we receive such a request, for we like to know that the music which opens our programmes can be left without comment to speak directly to our listeners. Not that the message it conveys is necessarily that implied in the title! Tchaikovsky's 'Chinese Dance,' for example, conjured up for certain under-fives a potent image of trains! And no doubt the marching rhythm and stirring sounds of the drums and fifes will have more significance for them than one title 'The Buff Coat,' when they hear this music again this week.
For stones, we have 'The Hole in the Road,' by Elsie Wood, and 'Uncle Henry and the Duckpond,' by Mary Wilson, to be told, today and on Thursday, by Dorothy Smith. Tomorrow comes Daphne Oxenford with R. H. Bevan's 'Mary Lou Goes to School' and on Wednesday and Friday Julia Lang with Monica Jarrett's 'The Little Silver Aeroplane' and 'Blow, Blow, Whistle,’ by J. C. Kennett

Mrs Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family

Mrs. Mountford has been spreading a rumour that Dr. Dale had prevented Mrs. Baily's acceptance in the local hospital. Both the Doctor and Mrs. Dale were told of the rumours. Mrs. Dale intervewed Mrs. Mountford .and made her promise That she would not repeat the story. Mollie Lambert asked Mrs Freeman to tea, but when Mrs. Freeman arrived Mollie was off-hand and rude. The Dales decided it would be better to leave Mollie alone for a while. Bob wrote to say he was leaving his job in Sandbourne and coming home at the end of the week. Affairs were still unhappy between Isabel and Edward; the latter invited friends to stay so that Isabel would be too busy to be able to go out. Bruce Laurie told Dr. Dale that he felt he had been wrong to oppose she new hospital so strongly and that he was trying to get a practice in the country and go into semi-retirement.
